The Téka Ensemble celebrated it’s 40th birthday with an all-out concert in the main hall of the Academy of Music in Budapest. Téka was amongst the first bands in the early days of Budapest’s dance house movement; their Friday night dance houses at Almássy tér were monumental. Their summer camps have have provided the community to learn and practice all manner of folk arts for as many years. They have travelled the world performing Hungarian folk music. Their anniversary concert featured their present line-up of musicians and repertoire, as well as previous band members, musician friends and the bagpipe and hurdy-gurdy bands.
